Totally agree about the beauty and uniqueness of this watch - I have one!
Hi blomman:
Mine is yellow gold, inherited from my father-in-law. It is my way of carrying his memory with me on my wrist.
I prefer watches that I don't see often and this one is a great conversation piece too. The design, guilloche dial (mesmerizing and dances in the sunlight) and the outstandingly decorated movement complement the jump hour design to make this watch noteworthy. And as the previous post noted, I recently wore it to the Metropolitan Opera in NYC; very appropriate!
My local AD who has auctioned watches had seen much of my collection over the past couple years, but not this one. He recently showed me the auction listing of a Jaeger Tourbillon that he offered me a good deal on but I passed. When I showed up in the store with the Salterello, his comment was j"now this is a piece you could do well with at the auction!" I plan to hold mine and pass it along to one of my sons.
I am so thrilled to read this thread. I understand this design isn't everybody's cup of tea but when you have, hold and wear it on your wrist it makes quite a statement!
Thanks, blomman!
Any chance for a get-together of Salterello's in NYC?? That would be fun!!
I will post a wrist shot as soon as I figure out how to do it...

Two quick shots of the Saltarello in white gold
Not long ago I had the chance to see this one very briefly, the Saltarello white gold! Such a beauty! One out of 200 in white gold I really enjoy this one; love the combination of jumping hour and retrograde minutes. One day I hope Best Blomman This mes...

Congratulation, you are one of the ....
200 lucky owners! :) Such a stunning piece! Best Blomman
The Saltarello is a really unique piece
Pictures do not do this watch justice, and in fact can have a negative first impression from a picture. Just ask my wife! I showed her a picture first, then put it on my wrist. Her first response was "bath scale". Then, oh my....... :-). I find this alter...
I agree with you, Joe!
Even better in real! :) And even if most focus goes to the very special dial and the beautiful decorated, very thin movement.... The case is extra ordernary! Size, shape, thickness - love the lugs! Congratulation for having this beauty! :) Best Blomman
Short verion: I LOVE it.
This is probably my all-time favorite from VC. Thanks a lot for sharing! Oliver
We have the same short version, Oliver! :)
My pleasure to post this one here! Best Blomman
Re: collectors dream
Yes, I think may would agree with you here! At least I do! :) Best Blomman
One of my favourite VC's!
Here's mine in RG with a salmon dial, a knock-out combo!! The decorated movement is a real beauty too! ...
perfect combination, my favorite too ;-))
In this version, the Hour in black on the white disk is more readable and contrasts with the salmon dial. Great watch, thin and with a really nice rotor and guilloche dial. Enjoy yours JB, Best regards, Patrickh
The Saltarello has become a cult favorite....
not unlike the Historiques Chronograph. Congrats to all the owners out there! Bill
So nice
Such a great piece. Dressier than I normally wear, but I'd love to have one anyway. That skeletonized rotor is the real deal, and it's spectacular. Cheers, John
Blomman, you get me.
You really do! If this becomes your first VC someday, that would be a great beginning. I am with you -- the Blomman Way, one in each color. But yellow gold for me if I have to choose. Best, respo ...
Wow !.. This really is a beauty.. Noble elegance.. Eclectic appeal, as well !.. :))

Indeed! :)
This one would be a perfect companion at the theater or the opera! :) Best, my friend Blomman

Congratulation, Popspin! :)
You are one of the lucky owners! :) Yes, this is one of my favorite VC's. As you say, it is not for everybody and not even know by many... One day I hope to join the club and would love to go to NYC for a GTG! :) All the best for 2015 Blomman
